As far as I know, there is no way to do this without hacking. I have a Netgear/Infrant ReadyNAS that has an iTunes server built in, but there is no way to sync that as the AppleTV library.

On the old AppleTV you could mount a NFS or AFP share after hacking and stream video from there. It worked pretty well, but there are more options now for solid network streaming so it doesn't seem worth the effort to hack.
